women and chocolatiers first
Jun. 24th, 2007 10:52 amI'm off on honeymoon* for a while, and it is with some relief that I note, courtesy of these cool flood maps**, that my new home on the Dark Side will stay high and dry should the oceans rise up to swamp Adelaide while I'm gone
People wanting to flee the submerged suburbs in a hurry will be disappointed, because our new(ish) airport terminal is certain to be thoroughly drowned.
Luckily for all, however, the Haigh's factory is also in Parkside, so it too will survive. We'll still need chocolate no matter how wet the world gets.
* Apologies in advance for being tardy with email etc until I get back.
** I know these maps aren't entirely accurate, but foretelling doomsday is always fun!

In other awesome news, I finished Saturnz Returnz and it was teh awesome. Was going to write you an email all about it, which I may do soon, but meanwhile happy honeymoon! And finish the damn second half, who cares about marital bliss and romance and stuff.

To prove that I am working on book two, here's the first sentence:
"The apparition arrived in Dussehra unseen, seeping like Argon gas into the cogs of an ancient and delicate timepiece."

Date: 2007-06-24 03:58 am (UTC)I have put book 1 on the shelf, and probably should have written down some comments as I went - stuff about identity, time scales, and indeed mysteries - some of which got resolved by the end I guess, but lots more yet to be revealed! I guess a few of the revelations, partly from what hadn't been talked about explicitly, but you're pretty sneaky, Mr Author ;)
I like the Schrödinger's lolcat icon btw.
Emails owed or donated, it's all cool.
